Rival 10 Cup Rice Cooker

Unassuming, affordable, practical— these are the words that come to mind when describing Rival’s 10 cup rice cooker. It does what it’s supposed to do, namely: it cooks rice, without fanfare. Plug it in, turn it on. There is one other button to push should you choose to keep the rice warm after cooking. And a steamer basket is included in which to steam, say, vegetables, if you are so inclined, in the steam made from the heat of the rice cooking. That’s it: pretty simple.

It is not unwieldy. It is not hard to clean. It is average in every regard. And reliable.
